Modern Traveler-Chapter 91: Chaoter . Charity

Felix had tears in his eyes. His father, Frank, worked as a waiter, taking jobs at coffee shops, restaurants, and even clubs just to support the family. His mother also helped by working at a laundry shop. They were more stable compared to Leon's family.

Leon, who was sitting on the stairs with Felix, was crying silently. His father worked as a dishwasher, but his mother, Lucy, was unable to help because she had a fracture in her shoulder and couldn't do any heavy work. This situation left their family in a dire position. As they listened to the conversation around them, Felix and Leon couldn't help but feel grateful for Neo's family.

"Don't worry, uncles and aunts. We will all live comfortably now! I won't just give you this house; I'll give you a share in my startup company. From now on, your only problem will be how to relax," Neo said cheerfully. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"It's already too much, Neo. This house is already very expensive for us. You don't need to share your wealth with us," Lester replied.

"Yes, Neo, this house is more than enough. How can we accept anything more?" Faye added.

"Luna, the house is already good for us. There's no need to add more," Lucy chimed in.

"Oliver, talk to your son. Even if you have hundreds of millions, it's not wise to just give it away. You are only 20 years old; you need to save for your future family, Neo," Frank advised.

"Hahaha, Frank, don't worry about money. That kid doesn't have millions; he has hundreds of billions," Oliver said with a bright smile.

"What?" they all shouted in unison. Was Neo that rich?

"Hahaha, hundreds is incorrect, Father. Right now, I only have 8 billion, but tomorrow, when they auction the Neo Blue Diamond, I will definitely have hundreds of billions," Neo corrected his father.

"Ah, I forgot. The auction is tomorrow! Can I come, Neo? I want to see what kind of people will attend," Oliver asked excitedly.

"What are you both talking about? Neo Blue Diamond? Auction?" Frank asked, confused. He was too busy with work to keep up with all the news.

Rushed footsteps could be heard approaching the dining table. Soon, Felix and Leon arrived, eyes wide open and mouths agape.

"Are you the owner of that stone, Neo?" Felix exclaimed.

"That makes sense! The name already suggests it's yours. Can I hug you tightly?" Leon said enthusiastically.

"What are you talking about?" Faye asked, looking confused, along with Lucy and Lester.

"You don't know, Auntie? It's all over the Internet! The Neo Blue Diamond is the biggest diamond ever discovered and it's extremely rare because it's blue. The estimated price is between $150 to $200 billion. An auction will be held tomorrow under the supervision of Augusta Precious Metals, and 'Gray's Vault' is the owner of that stone," Leon explained.

"Also, 'Gray's Vault' is a jewelry store that will be opening soon. They entrusted the Neo Blue Diamond to Augusta to promote their store and establish a solid foothold when they start their business. And apparently the person who owns that is Neo," Felix added, pointing at Neo.

"And you are giving us a share in that company? Are you sure Neo? I didn't know you were this rich, I thought you were a multimillioner," Lucy said, still in shock about the news she heard

"That's why you're buying cars as if they were candy, neo." Faye is also in shock. This kind of money is already at the top of the world, besides Elon Musk

"Hahahaha, I will give you 5%, Uncle Lester and Uncle Frank. You can work in the shop or relax here; it's your choice. No need to hesitate; I've made up my mind anyway. Hahaha! Even if you refuse, I'll just offer it to Felix and Leon." Neo shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

"Hahaha, thank you, Neo. We won't hesitate anymore. Thank you very much for helping us." Tears of joy began to fall from the eyes of the people gathered around the dining table. After a while, the twins also came down to join us.

"I want to build a charity foundation to help others. Now that we have this wealth, we should at least help, right? What do you guys think?" Neo suggested. He wasn't claiming to be a saint, but he wanted to give hope to people who were struggling. He planned to establish the foundation himself because he didn't trust the large charities in the country; they received substantial donations but did very little with them. By creating his own charity, he could ensure that the money would go to those who needed it most.

"That would be great, brother! Why don't you also add a free scholarship program and healthcare?" Amelia suggested.

"That's a great idea, Amelia! We should also build an orphanage," Luna said excitedly.

"We can employ people who are struggling as well. That would be a fantastic idea, Neo," Oliver added.

"I will put 40 billion into this charity as a startup. You can all participate if you want. You guys decide what positions you want for this charity foundation. Since this will be a large charity, we need manpower," Neo announced.

"Can we also join, Neo? We've experienced the difficulties of life, and now that you're giving us something to make our lives comfortable, the least we can do is help others," Lester said. If you've been in difficult circumstances, you know how hard life can be.

"Same here. I want to help with this charity you're building, Neo," Frank said. With Neo's charity, many people, particularly those like them who lacked opportunities in life, could be helped.

"I won't be building it; I will fund it. You guys will be the ones to build it. Let this be the legacy of our family," Neo stated.

"I'm so proud of you, son. With this, we have something meaningful to do because I'm starting to get bored at home," Luna remarked.

"Brother, let me invite our friends to this scholarship program. They want to attend college, but tuition fees are holding them back," Amelia suggested.

"Can I also add my friends to this program, Neo? I've met many people in the same situation as me, and with this opportunity, they can escape poverty," Lester added.

"Invite all the friends you know who are struggling in life; that's the benefit of being friends," Neo replied, not stopping them from extending invitations.

"So, Amelia, are you excited about your debut later?" We soon shifted the conversation to Amelia's birthday party. Before long, Sabrina, Madison, and Elizabeth arrived at my mom's house. I introduced them to my uncles, aunts, and cousins.

One by one, makeup artists arrived at the house and began their work. Catering staff and waiters were already on standby, and the organizer finished decorating the house.

Neo and the others began preparing for the birthday party tonight. The host had already arrived, and at exactly 6 PM, the guests started to arrive. Many of them were our former neighbors, and the majority were Amelia and George's schoolmates who were friends with them. Before long, even their close friends arrived: Bea, Mika, Jane, Brent, Remi, and Tristan. All the guests were dressed up for the occasion.

My mother and father were busy welcoming the arriving guests and guiding them to their designated tables.
